<dl>
<dt>V1</dt><dd><p>winters, is binary and indicates whether the plant may be left
in the garden when it freezes.</p>
</dd>
<dt>V2</dt><dd><p>shadow, is binary and shows whether the plant needs to stand
in the shadow.</p>
</dd>
<dt>V3</dt><dd><p>tubers, is asymmetric binary and distinguishes between plants
with tubers and plants that grow in any other way.</p>
</dd>
<dt>V4</dt><dd><p>color, is nominal and specifies the flower's color (1 = white,
2 = yellow, 3 = pink, 4 = red, 5 = blue).</p>
</dd>
<dt>V5</dt><dd><p>soil, is ordinal and indicates whether the plant grows in dry
(1), normal (2), or wet (3) soil.</p>
</dd>
<dt>V6</dt><dd><p>preference, is ordinal and gives someone's preference ranking
going from 1 to 18.</p>
</dd>
<dt>V7</dt><dd><p>height, is interval scaled, the plant's height in centimeters.</p>
</dd>
<dt>V8</dt><dd><p>distance, is interval scaled, the distance in centimeters that
should be left between the plants.</p>
</dd>
